ABOUT AMARAVATI

Amaravati, famous for the Amareswara temple, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva dates
back to the 2nd century BCE and was once the capital of the Satavahanas and also
the Pallava kings. Amaravati was a seat of Buddhism prior to the rise of Satavahanas,
and a stupa and monastery were built there during the reign of Emperor Ashoka (269-232
BC) under Mauryan Empire. Amaravati, the new capital of Andhra Pradesh – eponymous
with the eternal land will be a People’s Capital that is vibrant, diverse, inclusive
and modern. The world class new capital of Andhra Pradesh will have planned urban
infrastructure, be functionally smart, technology driven, environmentally sustainable
eco system, that is conducive for holistic integrated development. The futuristic
greenfield capital will be an ultimate destination for the investors, businesses,
education and tourism.

It is to give shape to this vision that the ‘Bhumiputras’ -the farmers voluntarily
donated their lands under the unique ‘Land Pooling Scheme’. The citizens donated
bricks as part of 'My Bricks- My Amaravati' scheme thereby laying the foundation
and paving the path for progress. Amaravati is hence envisioned to be an important
milestone in India's urbanization story promoting progress, welfare and happiness.

To transform Andhra Pradesh into one of the most promising and prosperous states
of India, the government of Andhra Pradesh has commenced working on its biggest
step towards the said goaI-creation of new capital Amaravati.
